Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

The fountain is situated below the Palau Nacional on the Montjuïc mountain and near the Plaça d'Espanya and Poble Espanyol de Barcelona.

The columns, representative of the Catalanism movement, were demolished in 1928 under the orders of Prime Minister Miguel Primo de Rivera[4] and were re-erected in 2010 a few meters away from the original location.

Buïgas submitted his design a year before the exhibition, with many calling the plan too ambitious, with too little time to complete.

[5] The fountain was badly damaged in the Spanish Civil War and did not operate until 1955, after Buigas oversaw needed repairs.

[4] In the 1980s, music was incorporated with the light show and the fountain, along with the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, was completely restored prior to the 1992 Summer Olympics, held at Montjuïc.
